At the other end, avoid Ocean Front B&B, flithy.

Thanks again, I did see the posting on Seward and emailed several places. Some answered back and there is space: Have to decide based on price, amenities etc. Any thoughts or recommendations on the following (they have responded by email so far: Edgewater, Harborview (no breakfast), Angel's Rest Gatehouse
The others to which I emailed but have not yet received an answer are Morning Calm (I know you like that one Budget Queen), Kim Forest's , Seward Hotel and Swannest -- which kind of seemed interesting from its location etc -- but no answer yet.

Have any of you any experience at any of these places??

Just curious, but have you considered staying 2 nights at the Kenai Princess, using it as sort of a base, then driving down to Seward for activities there? There's a 2 for 1 coupon with toursavers. Since I will be going on my first trip soon, I can't tell you how feasible it would be, but I'm sure other posters could tell you.

Based on my stay at the Seward Hotel last July, don't waste your time/money there either. Yuk - just my opinion.

Thanks Pam, that one is off my list.
Bayou Gal, I did look at the Kenai, and there is a 2 for 1 coupon directly on the Princess site; however Kenai is too far driving wise given the short time we have, so I had to let that idea go.

Does anyone know anything about the Oscar Gill B&B or the Earth B&B or the GStreet B&B in Anchorage?

Cheers

I do not recommend staying in Cooper Landing IF you are doing Seward activites, just to use a coupon. You are 40 miles from Seward and there is nothing in that area except fishing.
